How to Show Hidden Files on Windows 11

Step 1: Launch File Explorer by opening Start and searching for “File Explorer”, or by clicking the File Explorer icon in your taskbar
if it’s pinned there.



Step 2: When File Explorer opens, click the ellipses (three dots) button in the toolbar near the top of the window.
In the menu that appears, select “Options.”


Step 3: In the “Folder Options” window that opens, click the “View” tab. In the “Advanced Settings” list,
locate the “Hidden Files and Folders” option. Using the radio buttons, select “Show hidden files, folders, and drives.”
Then click “OK” or “Apply” at the bottom of the window.
Hidden files and folders will instantly become visible in File Explorer and on your desktop.
When you see them, their icons will have a slightly translucent or faded appearance.
